Shane Long equalised with 11 minutes remaining as Saints came from behind to grab a point on the opening day of the season.

Ronald Koeman's men went into the lead after just 24 minutes when Graziano Pellè headed past Tim Krul after a long aerial pass from Cédric.

Newcastle struck back, though, scoring within three minutes of the end of the first half and the start of the second.

Papiss Cissé scored the first goal for the hosts when he chested in a deflected cross from point-blank range in the 42nd minute, before Georginio Wijnaldum headed past Maarten Stekelenburg to net a debut goal.

But with 10 minutes remaining, Shane Long headed in a Duan Tadić cross to ensure that the points were shared.
